MQ.com Picture Background:

   
 Upon my request, Misagh sent me pictures of his town's local Birth of the Báb Celebrations. This is a holy day for Baha'is where work is suspended and we reflect on the tremendous influence the Báb had on his followers in founding the Bábí Faith and serving as a forerunner to Bahá'u'lláh, the prophet-founder of the Bahá'í Faith. Since there is not authoritative guidance on how to hold these events it varies largely from country to country and region to region.

 






What a nice group of fellow volunteers!




They look like readers - people chosen to read parts of the program.


Fanwell on right (explained at bottom of page)


Mees!


 Misagh with the children, send your love to me... (old song)  








Mees, try not to strain so much when you take your own photos. Or is it Alfalfa?







Note: As I posted these I realized that Mees was wearing no less than three (3) outfits leading me to conclude that these pictures we not all taken at the same event.
 

Mees' explanation: Btw, in answer to your quandary....
  ► The pictures with me wearing a white shirt were taken at the last Feast (Knowledge).
  ► The pictures of me with a red tie were taken at the Birth of the Bab celebration at the Banani International School (Baha'is and non-Baha'is)
  ► The pictures of me with the suit were taken the same night, but at the celebration held at the Institute (Baha'is).

So yes, I changed clothes twice in the same evening. Btw, in the photo of me in the white shirt with the two guys (near the middle of the page)--one of them about a head taller than me--that tall guy is the same guy interviewed in the Building Momentum video. His name's Fanwell, and he's a member of the NSA. Also, if you notice in the last picture you posted, I think you'll find that my left hand is doing something that you may recognize...
